This discovery contributes to a better understanding of the genetic causes of this condition and opens the possibility for families carrying the disease genes to have children unaffected by the disease via prenatal or pre-implantation … Continue reading →

NK cells, the first responders to viral infections, use this cytoskeleton to mobilize and deliver the toxic content of lytic vesicles (here colored in … Continue reading →
